PRIDE MONTH EVENTS While June is LGBTQ Pride Month through most of the U.S., Las Vegas saves most of its official Pride events for the cooler months of fall. If you’re willing to brave the heat, however, there are plenty of ways to celebrate here. Clark County Library kicks it off with a historical lesson: The Origins of the Center and Other LGBTQIA Community Organizations (June 2, 7 p.m.). Las Vegas Pride ups the antics with Black Girl Magic (June 2, 8 p.m.), a premier drag concert featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni The Vixen, Honey and Kennedy Davenport and Mariah Paris Balenciaga, at the Westgate. Lights Art Gallery will feature local LGBTQ artists’ work in its Pride Art Exhibit, free of charge (June 6, 7 p.m.). Make some time to catch the Mr. and Mrs. Henderson Pride Pageant (June 7, 7 p.m.) at the Pass Casino, then return a day later for Pride Family Bingo (June 8, 5:30 p.m.). LGBTQ youths under 20 can also enjoy the Under the Sea Youth Dance at the Henderson Equality Center (June 9, 7 p.m.). Those looking to get outdoors can take a Henderson Pride Ride with Trek Bicycle (June 5, 9 a.m.), cool off at the queer-friendly Hot Her Pool Party at the LINQ (June 5, 4 p.m.) or participate in the 5K Pride Run at Sunset Park (June 18, 4 p.m.). StarBase’s monthly LBGTQ dance party, Starfire, (June 18, 9 p.m.) is another way to your heart rate going. And lastly, get shaken all night long by GayC/DC, an AC/ DC tribute band coming to Taverna Costera (June 25, 8 p.m.). –Amber Sampson

LUCKY DAYE Lucky Daye’s debut album, Painted, dropped in 2019, but he’s been active behind the scenes much longer than that. The 2022 Grammy-award winner (for Best Progressive R&B Album Table for Two) has penned songs for “Boo’d Up” star Ella Mai, actress and singer Keke Palmer, Boyz II Men and even Mary J. Blige. Daye is an artist through and through, even when he’s making somebody else’s music sing. But when it comes down to his own tunes, this New Orleans crooner is quietly on his way to stardom. His latest release, March’s Candydrip, embodies soul, sex and swagger to the fullest. Daye’s vocals, as candied and smooth as the album title suggests, make for easy listening in virtually any scenario—including at Light Nightclub. June 3, 10:30 p.m., $20-$30+, Light Nightclub, thelight vegas.com. –Amber Sampson

JOE JACKSON Strictly by the numbers, Joe Jackson looks like the kind of rocker who’s tailor-made for the Smith Center: The 67-year-old has recorded 20 studio albums and earned five Grammy nominations for his labors. But there’s a lot of stuff about this English singer-songwriter, best known for hits “Steppin’ Out” and “Is She Really Going Out With Him?,” that doesn’t fit into a box, even a fancy box like Reynolds Hall. Even now, Jackson’s musical appetites cover the entire menu; if you can name another musician who’s made nervy rockers (“Got the Time,” “Obvious Song”) alongside jazz-inspired pop (“You Can’t Get What You Want (’Til You Know What You Want”) and straight-up classical compositions (“Symphony in One Movement”), chances are that artist has at least one or two Joe Jackson albums in his collection. Probably Night & Day; a lot of us bought that one. 7:30 p.m., $35-$124. Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Geoff Carter

All Deep Roots Harvest products are grown, processed and packaged at its plant in Mesquite.
Timeframe: 2.5 weeks
Timeframe: 5 weeks
The process for large-scale growing typically begins with cloning, a method of reproducing plants using an existing or parent plant. Growers cut and root a healthy clipping, creating a genetic copy of the original plant. This allows cultivators to quickly and efficiently multiply any strain and guarantee its genetic consistency.
After cloning, plants enter the vegetation stage, which allows them to root comfortably and ensure viability. Plants in this stage are put in a controlled environment with 18 hours of light and six hours of darkness. The vegetation stage provides plants with ideal conditions and sets the stage for optimal growth later.

Cannabis legalization is revolutionary. We’re able to walk into a dispensary and buy flower, edibles, dabs and more. Long gone are the days of getting a bag full of seeds-and-stems, or being relegated to eating mystery brownies from a friend of a friend. The marijuana-buying process is streamlined and clean, and so is the product. Here’s a look at the lifecycle of cannabis and the processes it goes through before reaching your hands.
Once out of the flowering stage, the plants are almost ready to be harvested. However, before that can happen, plants go through a process called “flushing.” During this phase, growers use water to remove any nutrients ingrained in the soil to keep it as clean as possible. Clean soil enhances the flavor profiles of each plant for a flavorful, smooth smoke.
Timeframe: One day It’s almost time to harvest when the leaves of the plant turn a pale green. At this point, there’s about a week before harvesting will commence. Cultivators begin by trimming all the large leaves and some leaf tips close to the buds with precision and care prior to harvesting.
Timeframe: 6-10 days Each bud is hung upside down to dry naturally and protect it from mold.
Timeframe: 2-3 weeks The last step of the harvesting process is curing. Cultivators take the dried buds and put them in separate barrels to mature. The flavor enhances and develops the longer the buds are cured. This also increases the shelf life of the product. It’s like aging a fine wine.

Timeframe: 9 weeks Like the vegetation stage, the flowering stage uses a controlled environment to facilitate a major growth spurt— each plant will double or triple in size during this stage and begin to flower, or “bud.” Plants are given 12 hours of light and 12 hours darkness. The amount of time the plants spend in this stage varies depending on the strain.
One of the most vital steps is the testing process. Small batches are sent to a certified lab for testing to ensure that every strain meets the state’s requirements. This also allows growers to note the precise details of the product for consumers, including THC percentages and more.
All cannabis products are packaged in childproof containers, vacuum packed and sealed with nitrogen to remove any traces of oxygen—this keeps dried cannabis fresh. From there, each order is packed and shipped by hand to ensure the best product and happiest vibes.
the introduction of the Life Is Beautiful festival in autumn 2013, the Valley has enjoyed the street art equivalent of a superbloom, and it shows no sign of letting up. Murals by local and international artists cover Downtown’s Fremont East and Arts District corridors, almost in their entirety. New murals are joining older works in Henderson’s Water Street district. And the phenomenon isn’t limited to the outdoors; you now can find
bold, colorful murals inside Valley businesses, including major casinos like the Cosmopolitan and the Palms. If you haven’t yet seen the writing (and pictures) on the wall, there’s no better time than now—and you don’t even have to hop into your car, much less step out of it. Follow us as we take you on a tour of the Valley’s steadily growing collection of world-class street art and murals.
Italian artist Agostino Iacurci (agostinoiacurci.com) created this lively, bright-colored landscape work for the 2021 Life Is Beautiful festival at the behest of “global creative house” JustKids, which commissions fresh street art for the fest every year. Other artists have painted this wall for past LIB events—a piece by Dead Stockton, aka D*Face, covered it for several years—but Iacurci is the first to regard it as a wall, with painted-on passageways and supporting columns.

The Las Vegas Valley enjoys a surfeit of white cinderblock walls. Big ones. Some have plaster over them; some are painted in sandy hues; some are blocked by the odd bit of greenery, usually the skinny stems of palm trees. But over the years, some have been covered by that rarest of Southern Nevada commodities: art.

Commissioned for Life Is Beautiful 2021, this work by Keya Tama (keyatama.com) was completed shortly before the South African-born artist’s 24th birthday. (If Tama’s style feels very assured for someone so young, that’s because he’s been working steadily since age 13.) He brings these bold, confident lines to other mediums, too, including textiles.

There’s a party goin’ on. French artist Pwoz (pwoz.art)—he pronounces it proze—is a Las Vegas resident by way of Saint Martin, Tahiti, Montreal and Amsterdam, and that worldliness really shows in this Arts District mural, in which folks of all shapes and skin tones simply get on their feet and celebrate being alive.

Most of the Valley’s murals conform to a landscape orientation; that’s just the kind of walls we have. But “The Sleeping Knight,” created by Polish muralist Bezt (bezt.org), is a proper portrait, both in terms of its orientation and the photographic way it captures a moment in time. Is the boy dreaming of dragonslaying, or is he simply bored by the sermon? Either way, this 2016 work is easily one of the most striking murals ever to come from Life Is Beautiful’s street art program.

How to stop ‘dead pool’ in Lake Mead As the water level in Lake Mead continues to drop, a scary and foreboding term is seeping up in conversations about water conservation—dead pool. Dead pool is when the water level would get so low in a reservoir that a dam would no longer be able to produce hydropower or deliver water downstream. It’s been a subject of concern for Lake Powell and Lake Mead, which are on the Colorado River and deliver water to more than 36 million people in seven states as well as Mexico. Lake Mead would reach dead pool if the water level dropped to 895 feet, said Patti Aaron, public affairs officer for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Colorado Basin Region. “We’re not in danger of hitting dead pool,” Aaron said. “It’s not an imminent problem. It’s not something that’s going to happen tomorrow, and it’s something we don’t think is going to happen at all.” Aaron said there were two ways to help Lake Mead: One is better hydrology and more snow melt from the mountains running off into the Colorado, but that’s not in anyone’s control. The second is through conservation by the Lower Basin states—Nevada, Arizona and California, “leaving water instead of taking it.” –Jesssica Hill

Show of support President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden visit a memorial at Robb Elementary School to pay their respects to the victims of the recent mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. After visiting the memorial, Biden attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where several victims’ families are members, and one of the families was in attendance. As Biden departed church to meet privately with family members, a crowd of about 100 people began chanting “do something.” Biden answered, “We will,” as he got into his car. It was his only public comment during roughly seven hours in Uvalde. (Evan Vucci/ Associated Press)
THE STRIP
Save the volcano?
Alden Gillespy wants to see the Mirage volcano survive for future generations, and he’s not the only one. Following last year’s announcement of Hard Rock International’s plans to purchase the Mirage, reports emerged that Hard Rock CEO Jim Allen and the company’s leadership were looking to remove the Strip resort attraction. Gillespy, a Las Vegas resident, started a petition on the online platform Change.org to save the volcano, which spews fireballs from 8 to 11 p.m. nightly. As of May 31, the petition had nearly 6,500 signatures, and Gillespy plans to deliver the final results to Hard Rock management. “When I heard the news, I remem-
ber just wondering why this was going to happen,” Gillespy said. “The fact that they were going to tear down the volcano, that hit me personally. Why wouldn’t the new plans call for an incorporation of one of the best free attractions in Las Vegas?” Hard Rock announced in December that it would take over operations of the Mirage as part of a $1.075 billion deal with MGM Resorts International. The deal is awaiting approval by regulators, possibly later this year. Hard Rock has plans for a guitar-shaped hotel on the property. And the company released a rendering of the revamped resort with the volcano noticeably absent. –Bryan Horwath

A highway shooting in Henderson involving members of the rival Vagos and Hells Angels motorcycle gangs, which closed U.S. 95 near College Drive in both directions for several hours May 29, resulted in injuries to seven people, including two victims who were in critical condition at press time. Three men were booked at the Henderson Detention Center on charges of attempted murder and criminal gang enhancement.

BY SHANNON MILLER ince 2021, interest-group backed Republican lawmakers in Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas have attempted to effectively ban gender-affirming health care for transgender and nonbinary youth. Most recently, in April, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, making it a felony for doctors to prescribe hormone medication or transition surgeries to anyone younger than 19. Parents of transgender youth and major medical organizations oppose such laws, saying gender-affirming care is necessary, sometimes lifesaving. Ivey said the law was designed to “protect” children from “radical, life-altering drugs and surgeries.” The law was in effect for about one week in May, before a federal judge blocked the ban on hormone medication, leaving in place the ban on gender-affirming surgeries on minors. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Liles Burke explained his opinion that the law discriminates on the basis of sex and thereby violates constitutional rights; that Alabama’s claims that hormone medication is “experimental” was unfounded, considering the established opinions of 22 major medical organizations including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics that have endorsed the treatment; and that the law interfered with parents’ medical decisions for their children. Alabama attorneys have said they disagree and plan to appeal the ruling. “A lot of the hateful anti-trans rhetoric that permeates society is linked to how the elected officials talk about transgender people and the fact that they honestly don’t know what gender-affirming health care looks like,” says Sy Bernabei, executive director of the nonprofit Gender Justice Nevada, which focuses on education about LGBTQ issues. Bernabei, who identifies as queer

Nevada advances as other states backslide on gender-affirming health care

ranking Nevada highly in terms of LGBTQ equality, there are “too many” providers in town who don’t know how to deal with gender-affirming care. “They don’t want to talk about the transition; they don’t want to manage the hormones; they’re not comfortable with managing the hormones; they’re not comfortable with having conversations with patients or parents around adolescence and sexual health,” he says, adding that patients who are misgendered or disrespected are likely to disengage not just from transition care but also primary and preventive care. A law Nevada’s Legislature passed in 2021 should help with that, Phoenix explains. It requires medical providers to receive at least two hours of “evidence-based suicide prevention and awareness” training related to different cultural backgrounds, including LGBTQ, every two years. Another obstacle to gender-affirming care: health insurance companies covering gender transition. But Phoenix says that has improved in recent years. In 2015, Nevada became the 10th state to prohibit insurance companies from discriminating against or excluding transgender patients in state exchange health plans. “Now, I would say probably 95% of the insurances have some gender coverage for their covered lives,” Phoenix says. “There’s a few plans that still exclude stuff, and that’s largely employer-based.” Availability and accessibility to top and bottom surgery also can be improved, he says. Huntridge Family Clinic works with a small “handful” of surgeons who will perform top surgeries. “We don’t have anyone in the state that does male phalloplasty, the creation of a male penis,” Phoenix says, adding that he knows of only one surgeon in Southern Nevada who accepts Medicaid for gender-affirm-
ing surgeries. As Nevada advances in gender-affirming health care, other states’ efforts to ban it continue mounting, along with legal challenges. After Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in February released a non-binding legal opinion labeling gender-affirming treatments for minors “child abuse,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate such instances as abuse, punishable by law. Less than two weeks later, Texas Children’s Hospital, the state’s largest pediatric medical center, announced that it was halting gender-affirming therapies to “safeguard our health care professionals and impacted families from potential criminal legal ramifications.” The Texas Supreme Court in May affirmed Gov. Abbott’s order, allowing the investigations to proceed. Many transgender youth in the state must now forgo transition treatments, or their parents must be willing and have the means to travel to different states to get treatment. And those parents might still be subject to investigation and child abuse charges in Texas. Bernabei says the recent attacks on the transgender community are “nothing new,” adding that there’s a resolve among the community to keep moving forward. “Our rights are at stake with this election and every election. … We are not the generation that will cower from society and be fearful like the generation before us,” Bernabei says. “We will protect and affirm the younger people in our community from the harm we had to endure decades ago. We are not going to be quiet and idly sit by as hateful lawmakers determine how we live our authentic lives as trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people.”

and has been active in the LGBTQ community for more than two decades, draws a link between suicide and gender dysphoria—psychological distress surrounding one’s gender that can interfere severely with daily activities, mental health and well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse and other problems can occur. In a 2022 study of transgender youth published in the National Library of Medicine, 56% reported a previous suicide attempt and 86% reported suicidality (the risk of suicide). “When trans kids are forced to detransition, it immediately undoes the progress they made in their mental health when their gender dysphoria was being treated,” Bernabei says. The LGBTQ-focused Huntridge Family Clinic provides referrals for counseling, medication management for hormone therapy and referrals for gender-affirming surgery for hundreds of local patients, including youth. Clinic founder Rob Phoenix, an advanced practice registered nurse, says providing gender-affirming health care is critical in helping parents curb the damaging effects of gender dysphoria. “One of the benefits of starting a transition earlier is, we can prevent the biologic puberty from setting in, or delay its onset,” Phoenix says. “If we have an adolescent and get them on Lupron, which is a puberty suppressing agent, we’re going to stop or prevent the onset of those secondary sex characteristics—breast development, hair growth, onset of menstruation, growth of the genitalia and those things that they typically are experiencing the dysphoria around.” Huntridge Family Clinic also assists with “social transitioning,” supporting transgender patients who are getting used to preferred pronouns, new clothing and other outward gender presentations. Phoenix says that, despite the Human Rights Campaign

ans Brad Williams and/or Harrison Greenbaum take the stage, you’ll have completely forgotten you’re at a Cirque show. (Also, both are terrific.) Mad Apple is sardine can-packed with performance. Several sequences are visually and aurally overwhelming. One scene offers two different acrobatic duos simultaneously flipping and flying, while musicians, singers and dancers layer a live soundtrack of NYC-inspired tunes through the 1,200-seat theater. There’s freestyle rap from Brit transplant Chris Turner, stunning vocals from musical director Xharlie Black and his crew, and signature Cirque excitement when an acro-troupe dunks basketballs—and themselves—through various hoops. Be ready for a whirlwind 80 minutes. Mad Apple is different, but Cirque has created shows like this before. There’s a full-circle feeling to this production in this venue, where Zumanity ran for some 17 years. Spiegelworld, which will bring a fourth show to the Strip in 2023, walked the path carved by Zumanity and expanded on its tone, humor and sexuality, all risqué for the times. Now naughtiness is necessary, seemingly employed in every production show on the Strip. Make no mistake, Mad Apple is in its own lane, a different take on this style of show. Most importantly, it’s fun and it feels wild, which is exactly what Cirque wanted and what audiences appear to be craving these days.
THE STRIP
he rambunctiously fun grand opening of Mad Apple at New York-New York on May 26 made it official: This is the age of the variety show on the Las Vegas Strip. Pro sports events and superstar residencies have been grabbing the spotlight lately—and pushing the Vegas entertainment experience into colossal venues. But something gets lost in all that bigness, a sense of salience, or maybe just that feeling that anything can happen. Whatever that is, you’ll find it fully restored at the three variety shows produced by Spiegelworld, starting with the comedy juggernaut Absinthe; and in brand-new productions on and off the Strip inspired by that company’s sensibilities—Miss Behave’s Mavericks at Cheapshot on Fremont Street, Rouge at the Strat and Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple. These modern spins on a traditional genre are funny and sexy; they splash excitement across the stage through daring acrobatics and other inspired physical feats; and everything is tossed in a flavorful salad dressing of inappropriateness. That’s the sauce. Cirque is certainly not known for the sauce, but you’ll be impressed by how much gets drizzled into Mad Apple. As soon as it gets going—when last call is announced for the three bars on the stage(!)—the emcee will likely unleash a few F-bombs as he ushers in the first performer. By the time stand-up comedi-

Three newish Downtown Las Vegas bars
C U L T U R E
BY BROCK RADKE Downtown Las Vegas is a fantastic place for leisurely bar-hopping—unlimited fun whether you’re strolling the Fremont Street area or the Arts District. With so many spots we’ve come to love, newer venues can sometimes slip by. No excuses! Let’s re-crawl these streets and spend some time at unique DTLV bars we might have missed the first time around.

If you’re a Main Street enthusiast, you’ve definitely passed this one by and wondered WTF is going on in here. HTH has been bartending at weddings, private parties and corporate events for the past four years until its Downtown brick-and-mortar slowly bloomed during the pandemic. It appears to be a tiny country-chic space with a few banquettes and a bar functioning in a real, converted horse trailer, but it’s actually a desert oasis filled with colorful DIY charm, solid sweetand-sour margaritas ($13) and fun specialty cocktails like What Happens in Vegas ($15) with its Ambros banana whiskey, coconut rum, pineapple and fivespice syrup. The narrow, elongated space gives way to a second room filled with games, high pub tables and conversation nooks, then to a back patio perfect for private parties or just a little time in the sunshine with a shot and a beer. You assume the soundtrack will be bro-country party music, but this place is much more chill—think beachy reggae vibes. Even along a street featuring so many bars with character, this one stands out as something completely different. 1506 Main St., 702-7202630, horsetrailerhideout. com. Monday-Thursday, noon-midnight; Friday-Saturday, noon-2 a.m.; Sunday, noon-11 p.m.
F THE BAR LUCKY DAY This Fremont East addition opened in 2020 as part of Corner Bar Management’s pandemic-era wave of new nightlife offerings, but only recently has it truly hit its stride as a complement to the company’s Commonwealth and We All Scream clubs across the street. Originally envisioned as a mezcal- and tequila-focused craft cocktail bar—an appropriate concept given its takeover of the space formerly occupied by Vanguard Lounge—Lucky Day has evolved into more of a party spot for Latin dance music fans with DJs and covers most nights, and as a home for the roving Techno Taco Tuesday bash. But the brilliant, fully programmable LED installation on the ceiling also creates cool vibes earlier in the evening, the right time to sample a flight of Mexican spirits ($18-$35) or sip on a house paloma ($13) or the chili and cherry-infused Escorpion ($14). Tasty house-made chips and salsas will keep you properly fueled for the rest of your night. 516 E. Fremont St., 702-2917599, luckydaydtlv.com. Monday-Friday, 7 p.m.close; Saturday-Sunday, noon-close.
The newest Downtown bar is a thoughtful conversion of the former Japanese restaurant Hatsumi and a lovely neighbor for another Corner Bar project, Peyote. The restored Fergusons motel space feels like it’s back to full power now that F the Bar has opened, serving natural wines on tap ($9), local beers from Able Baker to Tenaya Creek, mocktails and more. Slightly greened-up but still holding the serenity of the previous occupant, F the Bar might be the new jump-off for Fremont cruising, great for meetups and chit-chat with a Clincher (Old Forest bourbon, Cocchi Rosa, vanilla and tiki bitters, $13) in your hand and dinner or dancing on your mind. You could go anywhere from here. Fergusons Downtown, fergusons downtown.com. Thursday-Friday, 3 p.m.-midnight; Saturday-Sunday, noon-midnight.

ESSAY EXPEDITON
Nevada-bred author Phyllis Barber takes us through the Mojave Desert and beyond
BY EVELYN MATEOS
C
apturing the human experience is no small feat. In her latest work, The Precarious Walk: Essays From Sand & Sky ($19, Torrey House Press), Phyllis Barber attempts to do exactly that. The Nevada native grew up in Boulder City and Las Vegas. She officially began her writing career in the 1980s, when a small publishing firm in Provo, Utah, commissioned a children’s book from Barber. She has since had several books published, including three memoirs and a novel. The Precarious Walk is her ninth published book. Written over a period of
25 years, the collection of personal essays muses on the elements that make up the human experience, like spirituality, responsibility and loss. It also transports the reader to multiple landscapes, including the Mojave Desert, and places she has visited, like Ecuador and Slovenia. “[Reviewers] have said that it’s a journey into the soul of what really matters to people,” Barber says. “That’s kind of where I’m at. It sounds a little
metaphysical, but that’s it.” The essays are full of existential questions. In one piece, Barber asks, “Does a grain of sand have a name? Or a drop of water? Then why human beings?” “I’m afraid I am prone to deep questions,” she laughs. “It’s kind of a bad habit.” Still, Barber’s prose should keep you flipping pages eagerly. Each essay contains a story written with so much precision and imagery, it feels as though one might be reading a novel, instead of
navigating the author’s deepest thoughts. The reader will experience nuclear weapons testing—“a gash that showed the sky’s insides for a minute”—through the eyes of a young child. And the Mojave Desert, with its “lapping dry tongue,” is a fascinating character in Barber’s writing—a wise teacher, instilling solitude and observation. The Precarious Walk feels both current and historic, a potential time capsule for future Nevadans to understand what it was like to live in the Mojave Desert during such a pivotal time. Barber initially set out to be a concert pianist. She earned a degree in music from San Jose State University with an emphasis on piano. After becoming a mother to four boys, she realized she need to change paths. “I thought, ‘What can I do to express my creativity?’ says Barber, who now lives in Park City, Utah. “And I always liked writing. I wrote a little bit here and there.” The author will appear at the Writer’s Block on June 3 for a reading and book signing. She’ll share one of her favorite essays, “Love Via Jonny.” It’s a coming-of-age story about “the feelings you have when you’re odd, skinny and nobody notices and how you can make that change,” Barber says. Copies of The Precarious Walk will be on sale at the event, and the collection will be widely available for purchase on June 21.

SIPPING WINE
AT THE DISTRICT You can never have enough neighborhood wine bars, and no Las Vegas neighborhood seems to have an adequate number of chill spots to sip, sample and nosh. At the District at Green Valley Ranch, where years have gone by and a formula for success has been written, chain restaurants and friendly, beer-focused bars are doing quite well. The addition of a new sports arena across the street has reinforced these preferences. But it doesn’t have to be all drafts and chicken wings, and that’s where the Local comes in. Created by the folks behind the District’s Me Gusta Tacos, the intimate bar and lounge opened three years ago offering wines Henderson residents couldn’t easily find at the grocery store, plus flights, cocktails and a selection of local beer. The bright, modern environment fits right in with the surrounding retail shops, but the experience remains dedicated to its neighbors and regulars. The food hits the right notes, too. Choose your own charcuterie adventure with favorite cheeses and meats, including our favorites like spicy coppa, fennel finocchiona, firm Manchego cheese and triple-cream Brie. Take the tapas route with bacon-wrapped, almond-stuffed dates ($12) or a dish of Greek olives, wasabi peas and other tasty crunchy stuff ($4). Or satisfy a deeper hunger with a chicken pesto panini or applewood bacon BLT (both $12). Happy hour runs from opening until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but more importantly, all bottles of wine are 25% off after 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. But good Locals already knew that, right? –Brock Radke THE LOCAL The District at Green Valley Ranch, 702-6656050, drinkeatlocal.com.

FOOD + DRINK
ataly is my Target. I go to the Italian food marketplace at Park MGM to pick up a slab of Roman pizza for lunch or a bottle of olive oil to take home, and end up spending much more time and money there eating and shopping. And it’s fine; Target doesn’t have Negronis. The various food counters in the central Cucina del Mercato portion of the complex have so much to offer, guests tend to bypass the two sit-down restaurants at Eataly Las Vegas. The casual La Pizza e La Pasta is much more accessible than the fine-dining concept, which recently rebranded and reopened with an emphasis on the cuisine of the Tuscan countryside. This dinner-only destination was previously known as Manzo, a celebration of beef grilled over wood. Now it’s Toscana Ristorante & Bar, and it feels like the same classy, 94-seat dining room with open-kitchen views of that impressive grill. But the menu isn’t as focused on the meat, and the overall experience is more multifaceted—more than 30 wines by the glass, two different three-course tasting menus. Even if you never ate at Manzo, Toscana is a great excuse to revisit Eataly. The go-to starter has to be burrata with pappa al pomodoro ($24), creamy cheese and fresh basil perfectly complemented by the classic Tuscan composition of tomato, bread, olive oil and garlic. More traditionally served as a soup that’s equally delicious hot or cold, this version is cool, sharp and fresh, and it ought to be used as a sauce on every-
thing. Marinated beef carpaccio ($27) also sings, thanks to a lemon-mustard vinaigrette and crisp, paper-thin slices of beet and radish. The baller appetizer is seared scallops with artichoke purée, radicchio, celery leaves and black truffle vinaigrette ($36). All of the house-made pastas are slightly different than what you’ll get at the Strip’s other fancy Italian joints. Fat, green gnudi dumplings ($26) are stuffed with ricotta and spinach and laced with butter and sage, and Toscana’s lasagna ($42), meant for two, is utterly rustic with sheets of spinach pasta slathered in rich beef and pork ragu and 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Share this masterpiece and you won’t need a main course. You can still go big on beef with the 42-ounce Fiorentina porterhouse ($130), served with fresh herbs, potatoes and Franci extra virgin olive oil, or the similarly sized tomahawk ($150), also from Creekstone Farms in Kansas. The Peposo alla Fiorentina ($42), Chianti-braised beef short ribs, isn’t advertised as shareable but certainly gets the job done in portion and flavor. Pan-fried branzino ($48) and a traditional cacciucco seafood stew ($46) with scallops, tiger prawns, cod, clams and mussels are less showy but certainly satisfying, further demonstrating the restaurant’s bucolic tendencies. When you arrive at dessert—and you absolutely must—the fabulous flair kicks back in. Panna cotta with a sprinkle of black pepper is surrounded with chunks of olive oil crisp, ripe cherries and Amarena syrup. And a showstopping take on chocolate mousse is decorated at the table with thick hazelnut caramel, a decadent and memorable treat that should make any list of top Vegas desserts. This bite crowns the meal the same way Toscana caps the Eataly Las Vegas experience.

SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL Five storylines to follow at the 2022 World Series of Poker
C U L T U R E
BY CASE KEEFER
F
or the first time since 2019, the World Series of Poker has returned to its traditional spot on the calendar, with a full summer of tournaments ahead. ¶ The planned 2020 event was scrapped and replaced by a shorter online series amid worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns. Live tournaments returned in 2021, but they were staged from September to November. ¶ Event organizers expressed a desire to get back to the summer in 2022, and that’s what happened when the first of 88 tournaments kicked off on May 31. The action will be nonstop through the summer-capping Tournament of Champions on July 18. ¶ Here are five things to watch through it all.
PHIL HELLMUTH
1. NEW DIGS For the first time in the event’s 52-year history, the WSOP will take place on the Las Vegas Strip. Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas are the new joint hosts for an event that started Downtown at Binion’s Horseshoe in 1970 before moving to the Rio in 2005. Relocation rumors persisted almost as soon as the WSOP moved to the Rio, so the latest shift isn’t all that surprising. But there will be an adjustment period. In many ways, the Rio seemed tailor-made for the summerlong parade of poker. The large convention center away from the rest of the property provided ample space for thousands of players and room to build out temporary structures like cafeterias and shops. That should be somewhat replicable going forward, but the Rio’s massive parking lot and relatively light traffic, which allowed players to get out quickly for dinner breaks during tournaments, will not be. That might sound trivial to spectators or television viewers, but it’s of great importance to players. Ironing out the details to smooth the transition will be the biggest challenge facing WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart and his staff this summer.
2. ALDEMIR’S TITLE DEFENSE With more than 6,000 entrants in each of the past 15 years, the $10,000 buy-in Main Event is now commonly won by a previously unknown player. But that wasn’t the case last year. Germany’s Koray Aldemir outlasted a field of 6,650 players to win the $8 million first-place prize. The 31-year-old had already amassed $12 million in career tournament earnings before becoming poker’s world champion, a title that always places a great deal of pressure on the winner heading into the following summer. Aldemir appears up for it. He has been much more active and visible than past winners, appearing on the latest season of High Stakes Poker from the local PokerGo studio at Aria, alongside the likes of Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu. Aldemir is expected to be around most of the summer, vying for another WSOP championship bracelet. All eyes will be on his performance, especially beginning on July 3, when this year’s Main Event kicks off for a two-week run before a winner emerges.

4. LOCALS AIMING FOR THE TOP Ali Imsirovic has never won a WSOP bracelet, but he’ll enter the event as the No. 1 ranked player in the world by Global Poker Index for the second straight year. But the Bosnian-born, Vancouver, Washington, resident’s margin at the top of the rankings is slim. Three players—two of whom are Las Vegas-based with three bracelets apiece: No. 2 Jeremy Ausmus and No. 4 Chance Kornuth—are within 300 points. Both won their latest WSOP titles last year, with the 42-year-old Ausmus taking down a $50,000 buy-in High Roller pot-limit Omaha event for $1.1 million and the 35-year-old Kornuth outlasting a $10,000 short-deck no-limit hold’em field for $194,670. Ausmus is best-known for making the Main Event final table in 2012, while Kornuth initially rose to prominence as an online player. Fellow veteran Shannon Shorr, a 36-year-old veteran from Birmingham, Alabama, currently sits at No. 3 by GPI. Shorr has 70 career in-the-money WSOP finishes but no victories.
5. CRYPTO CRASH EFFECT Overall participation numbers had increased virtually every year at the WSOP until 2021, which saw a dip—understandable given the rescheduling, international travel restrictions and a COVID-19 vaccination requirement. The 2022 WSOP seemed like a good bet to get back on track, but recent volatility in cryptocurrency markets has cast some doubt. Crypto has high utility in online gambling circles, leaving some professionals hurting financially from its downturn over the past two months heading into the WSOP. The smaller buy-in events (there are 21 tournaments scheduled with buy-ins of less than $1,000) shouldn’t be as affected, but the higher-priced ones (there are 28 tournaments scheduled with buy-ins of at least $10,000) could see a dip. On social media, some prominent players have predicted that peers might choose to pare down their schedule and pick their spots, rather than playing in every event possible.

3. HELLMUTH’S POY PURSUIT Main Event champion remains the World Series of Poker’s most prestigious title, but given the difficulty to prevail with such large field sizes, the biggest-name pros set more realistic sights elsewhere. The Player of the Year race has arguably become the go-to goal in that regard—especially for the WSOP’s most decorated player. Phil Hellmuth holds most of the WSOP’s top career-long records—including most bracelets (16), most final tables (64) and most in-the-money finishes (165)—but he has never won the Player of the Year award. He has finished second four times, including to fellow veteran pro Josh Arieh last year. The 57-year-old Hellmuth has vowed to go all-out for Player of the Year this year, too, telling Pokernews.com “it f*cking hurts” that he hasn’t won it yet. The odds are heavily stacked against a semi-professional or recreational player winning Player of the Year, because it requires amassing points in tournaments throughout the summer. Hellmuth’s occasional rival, Vegas local Negreanu, is the only player who has won it twice (2004 and 2013) since the award was introduced in 2004.

MEDICINE
ONCOLOGIST OPTIMISTIC ABOUT FUTURE OF MEDICAL FIELD IN SOUTHERN NEVADA
W
BY BRYAN HORWATH VEGAS INC STAFF hen presented with an opportunity to work as a radiation oncologist at GenesisCare in Las Vegas, Edward Jung jumped at the chance. A Midwest native, Jung went to medical school in Rhode Island before making stops for residencies or jobs in three states. When he’s not working for GenesisCare, he spends time mentoring young people who are thinking of a career in medicine through an organization called MedSchoolCoach. Jung moved to the Las Vegas Valley several months ago from California, a state he believes has too many doctors. In Las Vegas, there’s a well-publicized shortage of medical doctors, but Jung, 44, believes that problem can be remedied. Vegas Inc spent some time with Jung at the GenesisCare offices in Henderson to talk about his career path, his job and the reasons he was attracted to Southern Nevada. Why did you want to become an oncologist? I come from a family of doctors. My parents are both doctors. Both of my grandfathers are doctors. My brother is a doctor, and most of my uncles are doctors. When I was a senior in high school, I told my parents I was thinking of becoming an English teacher, and they almost threatened to disown me. In medical school, I was always fascinated by medical technology. How cancers grow in the body, that all made sense to me, as opposed to, say, infectious diseases and viruses, which kind of seemed like witchcraft to me. I
was drawn to radiation oncology partly because I find it so interesting. We’re using X-rays to kill cancer cells. You’re from the Detroit area, went to Brown University and later spent time in Maryland and California. How did you end up here? My parents decided to move to Orange County to retire and my brother was already a doctor in Arizona. I decided that I’d move out West, too. Prior to Las Vegas, I was practicing in California, but I thought Las Vegas would be a great opportunity for a physician. In California, they’re kind of oversaturated with doctors. ... Las Vegas is such a booming city and the trajectory of this place is going to continue to explode.
With the recent addition of a medical school at UNLV, could that change the landscape here? Even if those graduates don’t all choose to stay in Las Vegas, it’s still big for the city. Now, you have students learning from other doctors, so doctors have to be up on their game and current with all the standards of care. Also, there’s an effect on the equipment that doctors use because a med school has to have up-to-date equipment and technology. That all helps the quality of care across the board. When you talk to people in the profession about Las Vegas, what do they say? More doctors could be interested in coming here. Even when I told my colleagues in California that I was coming

out here, they told me I should stay in California. Look, the cost of living is a lot lower here and California is close, so I can go back anytime. Overall, I see a lot of potential in practicing out here. I like to mentor young people who are interested in going into medicine, and I’d like to do more of that here. I’m thrilled to be here. What have you noticed, if anything, so far that’s unique here with the patients you’ve been seeing? One thing about Las Vegas is that there’s a ton of skin cancer here, even more than in California, I think. The sun here is really severe. Especially this older generation, a lot of people didn’t use sunscreen years ago, so that’s partly why you see all these 70-year-olds with skin cancers. What do you do during your free time? I have four hobbies, and Las Vegas satisfies three of them. I golf, so there’s great golf out here, and it’s actually affordable. I also do some rock climbing. I was recently out at Red Rock Canyon, and that was awesome. I also like to swim. The fourth one is surfing, which I can’t do here, but, again, the California coast is close. What’s the future of radiation therapy? You can always improve the precision of radiation therapy. Historically, people have been scared a bit by radiation therapy. By improving accuracy while limiting exposure to normal parts of the body, you’re going to improve cure rates and lower side effects or toxicity. Radiation is kind of a custom-tailored suit to a person’s body. We can do what’s called HDR brachytherapy, which is basically a little robot that injects a radioactive source that’s attached to a wire that traverses through a catheter to deliver radiation to an area. The good thing about that is that we can treat skin treatment in only six treatments. Normally, skin cancer will take four or five weeks of daily radiation.
